I was going to provide a similar code,
but I suppose that you want the MsgBox to appear without being activated...
right?

 | Code: | FileAppend, % "#NoTrayIcon`nWinActivate, ahk_id" WinExist( "A" ), temporary.ahk
FileSetAttrib, +H, temporary.ahk
Run, temporary.ahk
MsgBox, 262144, Title, Message
FileDelete, temporary.ahk |
EDIT - For some reason I thought MsgBox would supersede a timer  . This is inspired by TheHangman's post below: | Code: | hwnd := WinExist( "A" )
SetTimer, DeactivateMsgBox, 10
MsgBox, 262144, Title, Message
Return
DeactivateMsgBox:
If Not WinActive( "ahk_class #32770" )
Return
WinActivate, ahk_id %hwnd%
SetTimer, DeactivateMsgBox, Off
Return |

Have a look at Notify(), pretty, always on top and you can make it "clickable" as well but doesn't get in the way due to its toaster popup style.

hmm.... that code (by geekdude) will not work. He forgot that the script (thread) halts until the msgbox is dismissed. This (crude) code shows a way to do it, basicly it starts a new thread to continue running the main code.
| Code: |
WinGetActiveTitle, Title
msgboxTitle = Always On Top
SetTimer, Continue, -50
MsgBox,, %msgboxTitle%, The active window is "%Title%".
Continue:
WinWait, %msgboxTitle%
WinSet, alwaysontop, On, %msgboxTitle%
winactivate, %title%
ToolTip, original window activated and script continues
WinWaitClose, %msgboxTitle%
ToolTip
MsgBox, the Always On Top msgbox has been closed
ExitApp |

This is what i had when i posted this thread
| Code: | SetTitleMatchMode, 3
GroupAdd, MsgBox_group,, Hotkey is now running
SetTimer, here, -1000 ;use no less than ~1000, so doesn't open MsgBox as hidden
MsgBox,,, Hotkey is now running, 2
here:
WinWait,, Hotkey is now running
WinSet, AlwaysOnTop, On,, Hotkey is now running
GroupDeactivate, MsgBox_group, R
Return |
Tweaked it a bit, and currently using...
| Code: | SetTitleMatchMode, 3
GroupAdd, MsgBox_group,, Hotkey is now running
SetTimer, here, -1
MsgBox, 262144,, Hotkey is now running, 2 ;thnks jethrow! (saves an extra line)
here:
WinShow,, Hotkey is now running ;so can use SetTimer...-1
WinWait,, Hotkey is now running
GroupDeactivate, MsgBox_group, R
Return |
It's not perfect, but it works ok

Ideally, it would appear inactive right from the get-go (i think this could be done using "Gui")

Before i would consider sth like that, i would like to exhaust all possible options using ahk's standard MsgBox & identical-to-MsgBox GUI |
